Evolution Intelligent Design

Evolution—or the broader topic of origins—has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions.

Embark on a fascinating journey through the intricacies of the natural world with "Divine Blueprint: The Case for Intelligent Design." This groundbreaking book delves deep into the compelling evidence for an intelligent designer behind the awe-inspiring complexity of biological systems.

In this eBook, we explore how the teaching of evolution has become a rallying cry for conservatives and religious fundamentalists who think that creationism or intelligent design should be considered alongside and be given equal time as evolution in K-12 science courses. Creationism and intelligent design have been turned away by one court decision after another, but the forces behind this movement are still lurking. They have made stealth appearances in Louisiana and Tennessee classrooms. Over the past four years, these two states have passed laws that protect teachers if they present ...

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology. Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts...

Why do men's testicles hang outside the body? Why does our appendix sometimes explode and kill us? And who does the Designer like better, anyway--us or squid? These and other questions are addressed in The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not. Dr. Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator.

At a shadowy company (Karoli Robotics Corporation) owned by a Sillicon Valley billionaire, a scientist named Jim creates an AI that can fool the Turing test at the same time as his colleague, Daniel, successfully synthesizes DNA in a test tube. Daniel's attempts to reanimate dead chimps using his discovery have been unsuccessful, but when his friend Laura Bocelli is killed by being trapped inside a lab freezer, Daniel is presented with the perfect specimen. However, Laura is irreparably brain dead.

Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling audiobook from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer presents a convincing new case for intelligent design (ID) based on revolutionary discoveries in science and DNA. Along the way Meyer argues that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID.

The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument". Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics.

When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the "Cambrian explosion", many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life.

Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning". Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known."

Ten amazing things concerning this book: The intelligent designer created reading glasses so that all humans could read the kindle version of this audiobook. Humans need haircuts. Cat hair stops growing at exactly the right length. Humans have butt crack hair because the intelligent designer decided that your bottom would be too hygienic and too easy to clean without it. Humans sometimes choke to death. Dolphins don't. They have a separate breathing tube.

The latest and most bitterly contested battle in the culture war is the controversy over Darwin and intelligent design. But much of what you've heard about it is wrong. Jonathan Wells, a battle-hardened veteran with doctorates in biology and theology, sets the record straight.

This compelling and incisive book exposes the true nature of Intelligent Design as a modern-day cult masquerading as science. Tracing its roots from creationism to the courtroom drama of the Kitzmiller v. Dover case, the author unpacks the religious underpinnings, pseudoscientific claims, and political strategies that fuel the ID movement. With a critical eye, the author examines the Discovery Institute’s Wedge Strategy, the misuse of media to misinform the public, and the anthropocentric bias of ID proponents. The book also highlights the global spread of ID and the tireless efforts of ...

From dodging inconvenient fossils to exploiting social media with viral memes, this AI-generated spoof Intelligent design advocate's handbook dissects the rhetorical tricks, logical fallacies, and outright misrepresentations used by ID advocates to challenge evolution and sow doubt about science. It is based on a detailed analysis of ID websites, books and social media platforms over several decades of ID advocacy. Packed with real-world examples, clever commentary, and a healthy dose of humor, this parody is a must-read for skeptics, science enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the ...

A teen student’s guide for gleaning key points from Johnson’s Defeating Darwinism. Each chapter of Johnson’s book is reviewed with the key concepts and vocabulary, and thought provoking questions presented so that a teen student can apply what Johnson teaches in his/her own life.

Bible and Science is a topic that interests believers as well as rationalists. Here is a book for the layperson, written by a person with a PhD in physics. The book is accurate, but written in a popular language for common readership. It is not meant for scholars and there is no technical jargon. Anyone with a 10th grade education and read and enjoy the book.

In a tour de force of science and logic, the best-selling author of Darwin's Black Box combines genetics, laboratory results, and mathematics to prove, once and for all, that the universe and life on Earth are designed.

"A Thesis on New Empirical Evidence for Intelligent Design: AI and Its Potential to Evolve – A Resource that Evolution and Intelligent Design Could Both Be Theories Simultaneously" In this groundbreaking thesis, the author explores a provocative new analogy that challenges traditional thinking about Intelligent Design and Evolution Theory. By examining the emerging capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this work proposes that the processes of intelligent design and evolution can coexist in a single system. AI, created by human designers but capable of evolving over time, presents ...

Throughout his distinguished and unconventional career, engineer-turned-molecular-biologist Douglas Axe has been asking the questions that much of the scientific community would rather silence. Now, he presents his conclusions in this brave and pioneering book. Axe argues that the key to understanding our origin is the "design intuition" - the innate belief held by all humans that tasks we would need knowledge to accomplish can be accomplished only by someone who has that knowledge.

Evolutionary arms races are the basis for co-evolutionary cooperation and ecosystems and are fundamental to biology and biodiversity, yet they cannot logically be described as intelligently designed because competing against yourself in an arms race is not an act of intelligence nor of design. Arms races account for the needless complexity and prolific waste seen in nature when you look beneath the superficial resemblamce of design and are responsible for the major advances in evolution, from the evolution of eukaryote cells, the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of coral reefs, ...
